Big German advantage. Aircraft & better range worked well for easy German Victory. Maybe a more pulled back positioning for Soviets to pull Germans into kill zones could work better but I don't see it. German armor waited in the town while infantry crossed the river under cover of the woods. Aircraft harassed Soviet units moving up into woods desiring overwatch on the bridge. Other soviet forces waited in woods or dug in to position to direct AT fire on armor crossing the bridge. A/C harassment was effective keeping units in enough trouble that they could not get in the woods in time to effectively defend them from the German infantry advance. German reinforcements arrived & took a few shots at units across the northern ends the river before joining up with the town armor. German infantry moved through the woods & effectively assaulted infantry & armor they found there. With the guns & tanks driven out of the woods, the armor emerged to cross the river & engage the dug in positions with Standoff direct fire. Soviet armor was engaged at range but there were some German casualties from gun positions in the grove of trees. Soviet forces were unable to mount an assault on the standoff armour & the Germans destroyed enough forces to prevent a Soviet victory by 7 pm. Allowing a closer deployment of Soviet forces, more & further AT firepower & taking away German aircraft all & each might start to nudge the scenario back toward balance. |
